GbeTech Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Title speaks for itself...I have uncompleted torrents which I want to stop downloading and start seeding the parts I do have, for some time. How can I do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Get uTorrent v1.8 and turn on Scheduler in it.It has a seed-only mode.(That's in uTorrent v1.7 as well but you have to hold down shift while clicking to activate it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbeTech Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Shift-click makes it pink. Does that mean seed-only mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I tried uTorrent1.8 but some trackers won't allow it as it is still pre-release and I cant find where I am to hold Ctrl and select on uTorrent 1.7.7all that seems to do is allow me to select multiple files.What am i missing?

xabz Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 can you avoid seeding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 No. No one seeds = no one can download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbeTech Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I don't understand people who don't seed. I just feel bad not getting at least a 1.5 ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruff Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 what about if you select the unfinished files and select Don't Download as in the picture, that is how I do it. utorrent will seed all downloaded parts once they are downloaded even if they are selected as Don't Download when you want to seed.then when you want to download some more you just need to right click the file and select normal Priority again and it will resume. I think this works with all versions of utorrent and that is one of the main reasons that I use it.It is also very useful for building a ratio on a new site because for example you start to download a 4.5GB DVD iso image, as soon as you have 2 or 3 parts completed you can select to skip the iso and carry on to seed and if you leave it like that for a week you will end up with a very nice ratio to start you offi hope the picture explains. if you click the link above the picture you will be able to see a full sized versionThis Picture has been re-sized.
